Hi: To find functions in R for particular tasks, package sos is an invaluable resource:
library(sos) findFn('latent factor analysis') produces 72 hits on my system, not all of which are relevant, but at least it gets you in the vicinity of what you're looking for. In addition to sem, it appears that packages lavaan and ltm may be your best initial bets, but scan the output of the above call to see what else may work for you.
